A woman is not a sexual object.

A remarkably idiotic statement, if taken literally.

The vast majority of women (and men) want to be sexual objects at some time to at least one other person.

I do, BTW, agree with the authors of this law that our society is WAY too far down the road of viewing women primarily as sexual objects. You can see it on this forum, for example, in the sometimes disgusting comments denigrating women for not meeting some standard of pulchritude.

Not everybody can be Sarah Palin. :)

If we're going to put down women with whom we disagree, it should be for their policies, not their appearance.

Women put down women far more and far worse than men do.They shred the dress and mannerisms of other women especially co-workers,and all this is done behind the targets back.

I believe it was called being “Catty” as opposed to “Bitchy” in that bitchiness is just mean, while cattiness is often clever and witty and not always mean.

To ensure that appearances do not contaminate our opinions
may I suggest that we apply a hot poker to everyone’s eyes,thus scoring instant equality.

Excellent! And the converse is true also. Eye candy is nice, but brain & heart candy are better and often improve with age far more than the eye candy aspect.
